  I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog.   This is my group's plan for the titles in our title sequence. The opening credits and title sequence of my film will most likely be in a font called “Symbola.” My group decided on this font because we think it fits the mood of the film. Symbola has an eerie feeling to it, and it fits very well compared to other options that we looked at. Some other fonts we looked at were “Akira,” “Bebas,” “TS BOLD,” “Bodoni XT” and “Ghastly Panic.” Akira and TS BOLD were very similar as they were very wide and bold, and we liked them, but unfortunately, they don’t fit the mood of the film. Ghastly Panic was just too much and over the top for us. We would have used that maybe if we were making a horror film but it’s just too obnoxious. We are working on the title still but we have come up with “Lost in the Wind”. That is probably the title we are going to use but we may change it in the future. The film will probably begin by showing th...

  I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog.   This is my group's overall plan for filming our title sequence. Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I will talk about the location participants health and schedule of our final project. For our pitch to work we need a dark setting with mysterious vibes. A location I think would be perfect is right near Daniel's house. It was a street with no lights and there are usually no people around. It has the perfect dark and mysterious feel that we are looking for. A backup location would be very easy to find for us. The reason for this is because me and my group mates all have an area where we can film. We all have a place that we feel would really suit the plot for our film. We just decided on Daniel's house because it was easiest to get to and made the most sense for us. The next thing that we need is participants we plan on having some of our friends fill in but have Rhys be the main character. We have asked our frie...

  I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog.   This is my group's script/outline for our title sequence. The film opens with a blurred pan across Daniel’s   din ing room . As the camera comes into focus, it would pass by a box . On the box would be our first title . As the camera passes the box, it would stop on a shot of a group of friends sitting and eating . It would then cut to a s hot of th e camera panning across the table, passing a chair with another title on it . Follow ing this, one of the friends (character #1) would get up , and another title would be displayed on the back of his shirt as he walks by . Next, the camera would move towards character #1’s plate showing another title . C haracter #1 would then place his plate in the sink, and rinse it with water . In an over th e shoulder shot, character #1 would wipe the plate with a sponge, which would remove one title, and replace it with a nother . C haracter #1 would then hear a nois...

I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog.   This is my group's research into the title sequence in the movie The Borrowers 1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?   In the opening sequence of this movie, names of people in the cast are displayed. They are shown while there is subtle cinematic shots happening in the background.     2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?   The images priorit i zed in the opening sequence are very cozy and comfortable. What is displayed is a small town of toys in a Christmas setting .     3. What connotations do these images carry?   The images in the opening sequence carry a playful, nostalgic, cozy, and comfortable connotation. This is because all of the shots have a toys or have a winter theme to them which might give someone nostalgia or a cozy/warm feeling.     4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?  ...

I'm Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog.   This is my group's research into the title sequence in the movie Manhunt During this opening sequence we can see many titles. These include the name of the movie what film company presents it and the production company. It also shows us book this movie was based off along with edited by, produced by, and directed by. There are many images that catch your eye when you are watching this opening credit. First there are many photos of people who seem to be wanted kind of like the title says manhunt. It also shows various details next to the picture as if they had done a history of what these people did um who they know and what their interests are. This films genre is military and war. This is shown through all the investigative work and all of the terrorists. The white background really makes the red text pop and also gives us the feeling of a lot of bloodshed. This helps with the war side of the genre. Giving us ...
